Bespoke Orders
Tell me the piece you are dreaming of, and we will choose the cloth and shape it together. Shirts and blouses are my specialty — a garment that exists only once, made only for you.

The Clothing Shop Without a Name (Yet)
The hum of a sewing machine, in the heart of Kofu.
A project to build a clothing brand entirely from scratch, begun in August 2026. I sew, I listen to the people who stop by, and little by little the brand takes shape. Along the way I also take commissions — bespoke pieces, remakes and alterations.

Remakes
Clothes you no longer wear, or that no longer fit, reworked into something that suits the person you are now. A men's shirt becomes a blouson, a polo shirt a women's top — I have remade many pieces, each a small transformation.

Alterations
Sometimes a small adjustment is all a favourite piece needs to be worn and loved again. Send a message first — I am happy to advise on what is possible.

Maternity
Having sewn throughout my own pregnancy, I also make pieces for mothers-to-be — including a top for a wedding guest dress that I designed and wore myself.
→How a commission proceeds depends on the piece, so I will explain everything once I hear what you have in mind. Start with a message via Contact.

Accessories from
kimono scraps
On 8 November 2026, I held a workshop at Aima — making accessories from scraps of kimono cloth. Choose your favourite combination of offcuts, thread them with wooden beads and tie them off, and the piece that emerges is uniquely yours.
I treasure these small moments of handwork, like key rings sewn from leftover cloth. News of the next workshop will be announced on Instagram.

A mum at her sewing machine, in the middle of Kofu 🪡
In August 2026, in a shared studio in downtown Kofu, I began a project to build a clothing brand entirely from scratch. The name, the concept — everything is decided along the way, through conversations with people who pass by and voices from those who follow along. Rather than unveiling a finished brand, I share the process itself: the hesitations, the experiments, the slow taking of shape.
Shirts are at the centre of my work. Trips to Nippori to hunt for cloth, mistakes unpicked and sewn again — all of it is part of what I share. Please feel free to drop by, even just for a chat.
